Release & REVIEW ***Dirty Ballistics by Peyton Banks***

Title: Dirty Ballistics

Series: Special Weapons & Tactics: Book Two

Author: Peyton Banks

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Release Date: November 6, 2018

Sergeant Declan Owen lived by the motto 'bachelor forever'. He was dedicated to his career and led an active sex life. Women flocked to him, in love with the idea of bedding a SWAT officer. When his neighbor approached him asking for a favor, he wasn't quite sure how he ended up on an arranged blind date. He was a man of his word, and he'd show up, but he and his neighbor would need to have a conversation about boundaries. Only, after arriving at the date, he began thinking he might owe her a thank you instead… 

Aspen Hale was a woman harboring secrets. Having just relocated to Columbia, she befriended a coworker who was determined to introduce her to the city properly. Meeting the sexy cop for dinner made her realize how much one person in her past had ruined her future. As much as she wanted it, a relationship wasn't in the cards for her—but there was nothing keeping her from enjoying an evening with Declan.

One night wouldn't be enough for either of them. Their attraction was too hot to ignore. Declan wanted to explore it and soon discovered Aspen had burrowed her way into his heart. Her secrets would finally come to the forefront, bringing her time in the southern city to an end. When a group of men attacked them and attempted to abduct her, she had no choice but to come clean to Declan about who she was and why she was hiding in Columbia.

Declan wasn’t a man to back down from a fight. His woman needed him, and there'd be no way she'd face the enemy alone.

So I say this with almost every book in a series, but this is book two of the series, reading book one would make book two flow better and that way you already have a good insight into the characters that are introduced. When his neighbor bugs him into letting her set him up on a blind date, Declan refuses the first few times its mentioned, but finally he caves and agrees. He is shocked when he meets his date, he never thought that the blind date would be hot and give him the feels. But Declan is not one for a relationship, being on the SWAT team means he is on call 24/7 and his focus needs to be on his job, not distracted. So after both Declan and Aspen agree that the night they had is a one time thing only, Declan can't get her out of his head. Aspen has her own reasons for not wanting anything to get too serious, but something about Declan calls out to her, and makes her feel even more lonely when he isn't around. Will two people that know a relationship isn't in the cards, change their views and pursue something more?

I really liked Dirty Ballistics; drama, action, a bit of suspense, steamy naughty bits and all this makes for a one entertaining read. Declan and Aspen have some major chemistry that radiates off the pages. My only complaint, I feel that the book was way too short, and would have loved some scenes fleshed out a bit more. I give this 4 stars.
